I can ship it out to you. That's not a problem!

As far as inspections go... each state is different but here in CA as long as you don't have a check engine light or a really loud exhaust then most times they'll proceed to smogging the car. Just make sure you get you roll up to the smog station with the valves closed. lol

a lot of club racers/track addicts go to Darren @ West End. severe overkill for daily-driven cars.

I've been to JC Auto House myself, and Cyrus can handle just about everything as long as you let him know what you need.

I didn't know evasive does alignments, but based on their body of work, it'll probably be more specialized a la West End.

Pulled the trigger on a set of Miro 398's last night. Something about the car doesn't really flow right though. I think it has a lot to do with color of the wheels?

Just a suggestion, I would wrap those side skirts the same green as your car. Also, to make it stand out, carbon fiber wrap the isf bumper diffuser (the part between the exhaust tips). I think that will make it much better.

As far as the wheels, I agree, it's the color combo that's off. I the wheels were a gunmetal or black chrome that would pop.

your last set of rims looked better because they were darker in color and appeared more aggressive. Either paint the miros darker, slam the car, or get more aggressive offsets.

I'm already rubbing everywhere as it is due to the aggressive offsets. I would love to push the fronts further out though but how do people get away with having a super aggressive offset without destroying the fenders? A stretched tire? Right now I'm running a 245/40/18 rear on a 18x9.5 et20 and a 225/40/18 on a 18x8.5 et30

Rear sits perfect but the front looks like it could use another 15mm to be perfectly flush

I am running 19x9.5 fronts and 19x10.5 rears with +22 all around...trick is to roll fenders and stretch some tires

Took a little 2400 mile road trip from SoCal to Oregon in 3 days.

Went offroading, through the mud, up hills, up and down canyons... pretty much everything you're not supposed to do with a slammed car ha ha

Made it back to Cali in one piece so we are all good! ... here are the pics. Enjoy!

It's been a while since I posted on here... The green wrap will be coming off shortly as soon as I decide on the next color.

This past weekend I went to the Lexus Pursuit event and being that I was already nearby... I decided to have some fun in the canyons. Little did I know things were gonna go bad fairly quickly. Long story short, my check engine light came on while I was at the very top of the mountain, no cell phone reception, thought I blew my engine, ended up being just a broken tab on the aftermarket intake that caused an air leak and caused the erratic idling.

Here are some of this last weekend's pics:

Thanks!!



Little update... I removed the wrap yesterday and now the car is back to its beautiful tungsten pearl color. Have to admit that I did miss the original color

ISF rear bumper was removed and is up for sale!
